al-jazeera. and died from seriously teens here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the news straight from saudi arabia to israel the u.s. secretary of state my companion whole songs with prime minister binyamin it's now. in riyadh iran nuclear deal the war in syria yemen and gulf relations all on the agenda we'll have a live report and analysis also on the great they've made it to the u.s. border but their troubles off awful ball for several hundred migrants who fed. already in central america are seeking political asylum in the u.s. but president trump has made it clear that not while tough and a very messy crisis china says it will stop accepting shipments of foreign garbage because of environmental concerns now countries like australia say they have

nowhere to send their waste will take a look at what this means for the global recycling industry. a far right politician turned cia director and mel secretary of state questions remain about my pump ale's views of muslims us who visits the middle east i mean to suppose sinister comest route the show using it's a new spirit. led with the news gridlock on and streaming online for you to facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com thank you for joining us mike pompei always making his first overseas. straight as america's top diplomat the new u.s. secretary of state is in israel for talks with the prime minister benjamin netanyahu just hours after meeting saudi leaders in riyadh he later traveled to jordan regional issues such as syria and iran a top of the agenda discussions from pale and next now just such a brief public statement just a few minutes ago the new secretary of state arrived in israel i made rising tensions on the gaza israel border and just two weeks before the u.s.

is scheduled to relocate its embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv let's speak to our correspondent gary foss that was in a western bureau harry it was a quick trip to tel aviv for the new u.s. secretary of state what's the message or the message is very much a continuation of the message that he's been delivering throughout his first international trip as u.s. secretary of state first at the nato foreign ministers meeting in belgium then as you say in saudi arabia now in israel potentially presumably next in amman jordan it's largely about iran talking about what he says is the destabilizing influence of iran throughout the region the need for the international community to get together to prevent iran from ever attaining a nuclear weapon saying that the current nuclear deal iran deal the j c p a way is not fit for put purpose in order to achieve that goal and if it isn't substantially

fixed in the next couple of weeks before the may the twelfth deadline before donald trump is supposed either to renew his commitment to it or walk away from it then the latter will happen and of course this is very much in accordance with the message that we've been hearing from benjamin netanyahu not just this year but the year before in many years previously did we hear anything harry on the israeli palestinian conflict. not much there of course is in the background as you were saying in the introduction the issue of the continuing protests along the israel gaza border the hundreds of unarmed protesters who've been shot and injured the dozens who've been shot and killed including journalists it's something which of course of course has been dominating international headlines no mention of it from the u.s. secretary of state though the u.s. has been along with israel holding hamas largely responsible for those protests and

the consequences that we've the of resulted in formulation of what's been happening he did though talk of course in much more celebrate returns about the impending move just two days after the iran deal deadline made the fourteenth the move of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem although he did add the codicil as did donald trump during his declaration in december recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital of saying that any final borders of jerusalem between israelis and palestinians had to be settled by negotiations saying that the u.s. remains committed to a peaceful solution of the conflict both leaders praised the strength of the u.s. israel relationship of course we heard during that press conference harry but palestinian leaders not impressed with this new secretary of state and this new administration altogether. well as far as they're concerned the new personality in the state department is of less

consequence than donald trump's declaration in december last year that led to them refusing to meet mike pence the u.s. vice president when he visited israel in in january he was judge will that one stage to go to the occupied west bank to meet palestinian christians especially. those invitations were route withdrawn as a result of the u.s. stance on jerusalem and so it seems that there was no meeting sought by mike pompei and there certainly would have been no meeting granted had one been sought because the position remains the same the united states is no longer seen by the palestinians as any kind of a broker any kind of a mediator in this process and as far as they're concerned they're looking elsewhere for a solution and for any progress in the quest for a palestinian state thank you very much for that hairy hairy fos at

a correspondent in west jerusalem that not only on sunday my compare was in saudi arabia as we mentioned where he held talks with the king the crown prince and foreign minister the new york times reports that pompei are told saudi leaders to end the gulf diplomatic crisis saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain any gypped impose an economic embargo on qatar almost a year ago accusing it of supporting terrorism a claim that cut as strongly rejected as we can alongside the saudi foreign minister added their pump ale stressed the need for unity in the gulf region in the nations of the middle east cannot wait for american power to crush terrorism or the . most all nations must be willing to take on their burden if we're going to stream ism and defeat the forces of terrorism together though the saudi arabia will be at the front of it because they also stress to the foreign minister the gulf unity is less this area we need to achieve it. all right let's not get the view of our senior political analyst in london mike pump a.o.

in riyadh mentioned gulf unity but didn't mention qatar by name but we know from new york times report that the americans want the saudis to end the blockade of qatar to end the g.c.c. crisis will the saudis in your view heat this call well they hear this message it's not clear judging from the various indirect communication that's going on especially on the level of the official media and saudi arabia and its. close ally neighbor if the united arab emirates it seems the campaign against qatar continues on the other hand there have been certain signs of i won't call it cooperation but certainly coordination such as when qatar joined the exercises in the gulf region along with saudi arabia and others clearly the saudis remain stubborn more so the iraqis and we don't see much sign of progress from the egyptians on the horizon is

so all in all we have pressure from the united states but we don't yet see clear signs of progress on the part of the saudis but i thought from pale had spreads more leverage than his predecessor rex tillerson. well you know they say he's close to president trump closer than the director sent both directors and had more energy in dealing with the crisis because he knew the region better as the former c.e.o. of exxon so when you really put it on the scale. stars and had more to say because he knew them knew the party is much better pompei was closer to trump but i think he doesn't have the same interest in industry in dealing with it that when he was in riyadh he also talked about you know the need for gulf countries to come together we've heard president trump calling on gulf countries to provide funding and troops for syria his administration is currently of course reviewing the u.s. role in fighting i said in syria is there appetite marwan among gulf countries

despite this disunity in their differences to get even more involved in syria i think a lot of people in the region serious commentators in the region know that this is . a lot of b.s. that this was not a serious initiative that this was off the cuff as usual improvise and so on and so forth certainly the so these were not be able to redeploy in syria and certainly we're not confront iran in syria or the assad regime for that matter and they gyptian is already have expressed their displeasure with such notions so i think really it wasn't serious from the very beginning now compel as we heard from harry marwan has been talking tough on iran the u.s. president donald trump is soon due to decide whether or not to pull out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal with iran which is still supported by european powers that's take a listen to what he had to say about iran. iran destabilize this entire region

it supports proxy militias and terrorist groups that are. it is an arms dealer to the who the rebels in yemen. and iran conducts cyber hacking campaigns. that supports the murderous assad regime as well it is indeed the greatest sponsor terrorism in the world and we are determined to make sure it never possesses a nuclear weapon. iran deal in its current form is not a problem provided that assures we will continue to work with our european allies to fix that deal. but if a deal cannot reach the president has said that he will leave that deal. marana notch part of this from peo trip seems to be laying the ground for what could be a consequential decision on iran always you think on the brink of something very serious serious escalation when it comes to iran.

i'm not sure if it's necessarily escalation but certainly the if you look at the graphic since person trump took office in fact since he was a candidate. the whole focus is on iran and it will remain to be on iran and everything will be basically put together within that very focus on the axes of with us or against us on the question of iran so when you look at selling arms to the gulf regions and others when you look at that a commission of jerusalem as the. capital of israel when you look at the policy towards the fight the fighting i still in the beginning when you look at basically every single aspect in the trump policy towards the middle east it's based on this idea that there is a new regional order one that is set against iran and so whether on may twelfth president trump will or will not sign the deal again

the new will of the deal if you will or america's abiding by the deal the nuclear deal or not i think the overall strategy for if one would want to call it i would hate to call it that way but if one would want to call a trump doctrine in the middle east if there is such a thing as a trump strategy in the middle east it will be focused on a new regional order where the main enemy of the demon if you would is iran iran will better than not develop nuclear weapons will better not. get involved in any rainy i'm development whatsoever and certainly not get involved in the region and so on so forth so everything would be focused on iran and that's why if you bet tension prime minister netanyahu did not have to say a word this was one of the very rare appearances of prime minister netanyahu along with an american official where he did not make israel's case clear on the question

of iran why because now america is making netanyahu is case clear on iran because there is no daylight between israel. around the united states on the question of iran when you talk about a new regional order marwan is that regional order going to include or are we going to seen it an even closer relationship or approach mom between saudi arabia and israel. absolutely and again i mean that's what i said about everything in terms of trump's policies of top administration policy in the region whether it is the so-called the deal of the century or otherwise it is to bring about their operational between what they called moderate arab states and israel to confront iran so everything that happens in the region happens within that overall view that the united states needs to name a demon within the region and just get people either to be on the side of the united states or against the united states and by the way this is not new and this

is not necessarily positive so when i say original order it could be original disorder what it is in a spot as the united states is concerned there will be some kind of overall writing strategy where there's a one main axis and this happens from the one nine hundred fifty s. onward since the united states took over from france and britain as the men dominant superpower in the middle east it was always naming every decade it named a regional power as a demon and it asked all people and governments in the region to side with it or against it so in fifty eight it was not said another citizen of egypt in sixty eight it was arafat's of palestine in seventy eight it was iran in eighty eight it was saddam ninety eight it was bin laden two thousand and eight again it was iran and now we're back to iran so every ten years you have to name an enemy of some sort and i don't ask the region to side with you or against you thank you for that marwan bashar i got to get your insight as always marwan is our senior political

analyst you can find him on twitter at marwan bashar i thank you for your time now you heard there about the saudi iran why the reward showing you this info graphic on al jazeera dot com face to face iran and saudi arabia this is a comparison an in-depth look at the military spending the economy and the drivers of growth of the two regional rivals very informative graphic you can find it on our website at al-jazeera dot com. now with my cum pail chopping to meet these leaders in particular there are still some questions he has to deal with over statements he made in the past about muslims that spring in a social media producer and what are you saying about this andrew well this is the first foreign trip as america's new secretary of state including stops in israel saudi arabia and jordan now those latter two in those latter two pump aoe is meeting with heads of state who are also considered custodians of the three holiest sites in islam there are still lingering questions on social media in particular regarding past statements about muslims when he was

a far right politician with the tea party people wondering if those views will impact policy making now that he's secretary of state. silence is made these islamic leaders across america potentially complicit in these acts if the religion claims to be one of peace mr speaker its leaders must reject violence that is perpetrated in its name this threat to america is from people who deeply believe that islam is the way of the light and the only answer and i will tell you it is absolutely a minority within the muslim faith a whore christians and will continue to press against us until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that jesus christ as our savior is truly the only solution for world peace so he was asked about some of these comments during his confirmation hearing as well as ties to anti muslim groups and individuals says his record at the central intelligence agency speaks for itself and the agency backed him up saying he's worked extensively to expand partnerships

with countries throughout the muslim world and saved countless muslim law muslim lives in the process but still organizations like the southern poverty law center of the u.s. hate group watchdog maintain that pump has ties to some of these groups and individuals should have disqualified him from the role and they say that president trump is playing right into the hands of the radical anti muslim movements in the united states and abroad at a time when we're seeing hate groups have unprecedented access to the white house they say company has ties to anti muslim hate groups are extremely alarming now another group the anti semitism monitoring group the anti-defamation league they initially said they had serious concerns about them pales past statements and his associations with organizations that have frequently expressed hostility towards muslims but after he was confirmed they later wish him success in the new role so with those concerns in mind we're curious to hear what you think about america's new top diplomat and if he's done enough to address some of those past statements are you satisfied or does his record speak for itself share your views with us

using the hash tag message me directly i'm anderson and angela a comment here from one of our viewers on pump ale and. upcoming u.s. decision on the iran nuclear deal bent on facebook says north korea can learn from the u.s. handling of the iran nuclear deal the u.s. cannot be trusted thank you for your comment banked and you can keep those comments coming on this and other stories we're covering on the great today connects with us on social media using the hashtag news great and speaking of north korea south korea says kim jong un has promised to shut down north korea's nuclear bomb test site next month the pledge was made during kim's summit with president in on friday but there's no word about the future of north korea's ballistic missile program or whether kim will bow to demands by us present to get rid of nuclear weapons kathy novak has our report from seoul. the world saw the smiles and handshakes on friday now the south korean president's office is revealing more of what was said

behind closed doors at the historic summit south korea says kim jong un promised to close the pool in getting a nuclear test center next month and invited american and south korean experts and journalists to inspect it days before the summit north korea announced it would shut down the site of all six nuclear bomb tests kim referred to speculation that test explosions had so badly damaged the site it couldn't have been used again anyway you don't shit on chairman kim said when they come they will see that we have to figure tunnels than the current test facilities and they are in good condition this. the willingness to allow businesses to the test center appears to be another concession before the planned summit with donald trump and the north koreans by this is necessity but a country for any kind of negotiations because if they don't see that the want ever entry to a nuclear weapons nobody is going to talk to them moon phoned the u.s.

president to brief him on the into korean talks the declaration signed there included a broad reference to denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula trump and moon agree that more specific measures on getting rid of nuclear weapons should be discussed at the us president's meeting with kim kim jong un is also reported to have said even though the united states is inherently hostile towards north korea once they talk with us they will get to know that i am not the kind of person to launch nuclear weapons towards the south or target the united states across the pacific south korea says kim intends to eliminate another sign of division by changing pyongyang's time zone by half an hour to realign with the south north korea said it's clocks back three years ago saying then that japanese imperialist had imposed tokyo time when korea was an occupied colony moon also briefed japan's prime minister and told shinzo obey that he had conveyed japan's willingness for

talks with north korea a willingness kim jong un said was mutual kathy novak al jazeera sold so what do we know about north korea's nuclear arsenal its intercontinental ballistic missile the how song fifteen flies at a high altitude and father than any of its radius missiles was lost estate in november and the u.s. mainland was theoretically theoretically within range u.s. officials estimate north korea has sixty nuclear weapons independent experts suggest pyongyang has enough uranium to produce six new nuclear bombs a year in january two thousand and sixteen kim jong un announced north korea's for a. hydrogen bomb test but nuclear scientists have questioned that claim at high crawford is a nuclear arms control expert and a former head of the verification and security policy coordination office of the international atomic energy agency he says closing the nuclear site will not make a difference it's not exactly clear whether north korea is going to close down the

entire nuclear site or one of the connell's where apparently there was some collapse but closing down the nuclear test site at the moment will not have a significant impact because kim jungleland already stated last september after the last test that the nuclear weapon development program was complete and that therefore they did not need to test any more closing the nuclear weapon test site is only one part of the nuclearization so north korea would need to declare how many nuclear bombs they have there would need to be dismantled and the infrastructure for enriching uranium or separating plutonium and making the high explosives and other components of a nuclear warhead would also need to be dismantled but what is not clear is what is meant by the denuclearization of the korean peninsula whether it is just dismantlement by north korea or also the removal of the nuclear guarantees or

extended deterrence from the united states to south korea i stay on top of all things north korea on our special page of fact al-jazeera dot com all the latest news lines as well as discussions and opinion pieces on the tensions on the korean peninsula at al-jazeera dot com. multi view all here on the newsgroup taking a look at the different pictures and news agencies of feeding assists is cairo egypt where the egyptian foreign minister some initial korea has been holding talks with his french counterpart johnny validity on the drea is making war of the region right now a trip that will also take him to saudi arabia the palestinian territories and israel have been speaking for a few minutes the two foreign ministers will bring you an important new signs as in when we have them for now let's check in with our team in london and sue turton with a look at the day's other news. thank you following passions and pakistan's swat valley are continuing to demonstrate against what they're calling decades of oppression by security forces the protests began in february after the

place killing of an aspiring model over alleged ties to the taliban no evidence was found for this pastor say thousands have been unjustifiably killed over the years will simply disappear as some avenger of a reports. at the dunes are demanding rights enshrined in pakistan's constitution following rallies in the shower in lahore protesters gathered in swap when a military operation against the pakistani taliban was carried out a few years ago the protest movement began in february against the extrajudicial killing of a bush two man in karachi now it's been transformed into a wider call for rights by the bush two and a half is movement or p t m it wants missing people to be found and landmines removed the b.t.o. is also demanding the truth and reconciliation commission for what it says are crimes carried out by the military during the so-called war on terror the pakistan of the passions have made sacrifices for the country so we urge the military and state institutions to stop the harassment and force disappearances the missing if

innocent should be released those guilty must be produced before the courts thousands of families are worried about their loved ones. the traditional jirga that's a gathering of politicians and elders has been formed to discuss the demands a military command agreed last week that some push to the grievances are legitimate and the behavior of some check for security personnel is harsh but the p.t.'s angered commanders by insisting the armed forces must be held to account. for the wealthy absolutely it's those in uniform because they want to sell the people like this and do more extrajudicial killings are those stably seron writ not the writ of the constitution. a counter rally was held on saturday to show support for the military speakers questioned why the push tunes were protesting when the p.t.s.d. . munns are being addressed the accused the push to movement of being a tool of afghan nationalists and forces against the pakistani state what. i

say to those conspiring against pakistan your aims will never come true faith is in this land and you will never let him succeed local media is criticized for not giving coverage to push through protests median it was denied they have been instructed to ignore them for years pakistan's military and politicians have been accused of ignoring the people of the federally administered tribal areas places which the government administers but doesn't govern as the rest of pakistan some of enjoy it as there are tens of thousands of nicaraguans have joined a protest organized by the catholic church against the government of president daniel ortega church leaders say they are giving or take a month to meet society's demands at least forty three people died in recent demonstrations against plans for social security reforms or take it with through the reforms a week ago and the commission has been announced to investigate the violence. i mean he is opposition are holding more protests ahead of

a vote in parliament on cheese day to choose a new prime minister the previous prime minister. resigned a week ago after demonstrations against him he'd taken on the job after spending a decade as president the opposition are demanding that their leader nicole passion man be chosen there and party says he won't be putting forward a candidate for more in this light space to run for s.k. walker who is in the army is second biggest city. robin this protest just seems to go from strength to strength hope for real driving force behind the movement. well sue yeah it's a day things. very positive one i think for this movement and we will talk about this you know who's going to be elected prime minister and so forth but it's really going to be i want to make this clear to everyone that we are talking about here what is really looking like increasingly like a revolution in media the velvet revolution the nicole is referring to because so

far there has not been a single shot fired we have seen tens of thousands of demonstrators on the streets calling for the removal of that of the former prime minister as you mentioned and now they want the they want the republican party the governing party going as well and if as we found out today he does get nominated and is the only candidate nominated for prime minister it's looks as if the republican party that governing party has said it is going to support him as the people's candidate you know the words not stand in the way of his election and if he becomes prime minister that means that he's going to be able to form a cabinet that he hopes will mean that the electoral process ahead of an election will be reformed and that therefore armenia can have free and fair elections which the opposition is saying has never happened before in armenia so we really are talking about a major major development for this off with the opposition. it's happens today and so it's annoying it's we're seeing more rallies on the streets of the capital year

and that is all taking place ahead of tuesday's important vote where up to no is the past union is saying he still wants to get everybody to come to unzip stand outside the parliament and make sure that his nomination goes through and he gets voted and i am talking about an extraordinary thing happening here with everybody it seems getting behind this movement it is it really extraordinary sight and experience to behold many things around tress a walk around dramatic developments in armenia and tens of thousands of people have marched through the spanish planner to protest against the acquittal of five men on gang rape challenges i think. it's the third consecutive day people have demonstrated against the ruling some of the men jailed for nine years on the less a felony of section of the men are accused of gang raping a teenage girl at the san fermin overrunning festival in twenty sixteen they're

alleged to have recorded the attack and then laughed about it afterwards and the what sent her. as it for me not my folly and. so thank you very much for that if you're watching us on facebook live coming up next a story about how a catering business is raising money for children's hospitals in syria and still ahead on the great china but so stop the shipments of foreign garbage we're taking a look at why and what that means for the global recycling industry districts. how we have still got a little scattering of shower as across northern parts of the middle east a fair amount of cloud into iraq into iran bright skies over towards the east side of the mediterranean sea temperatures in beirut fairbairn quite nicely twenty seven celsius want to show us there into turkey no apostle of syria coming down into iraq

camps. the solution must lie in me and they must be allowed to go vote in conditions of safety it may take some time really but we would like to be here in the government to me and how we choose to work with the international community and we will do everything we can this to security council to support progress and trying to come together to take decisions that help through a single. child stratford has this update from the camp in bangladesh. well it started a very emotional response from some of the refugees that met with this delegation the small in the british ambassador literally being held by a number of women who described in tears being raped losing family members shot dead by me and my foresees the delegation were moved around the camp they were taken along the roads along which times thousands of ranger refugees stood many of

them holding up cards reading things like we want justice and we are not bengali it was very telling though in a press conference a journalist in the crowd asked the delegation members to raise their hands those who called the ranger refugees the religion of course the myanmar government doesn't call them or injure it doesn't recognize them as citizens of myanmar everybody in that delegation put their hands up in the chinese representative looked rather nervous but did not raise his hand i asked him afterwards why that was the case and he said that china respects what the residents call themselves but whatever way you look at today's a paints it has been a big eye opener for this united nations security council delegation and as i say they go into myanmar tomorrow as this visit continues china's stratford in cox's busy bangladesh and i want to point you not to this great film on the plight of myanmar's ethnic russian jets by r.c.m. at one of one east what does the future hold for one of the walls poorest countries

washi will hinge exodus on one n one east at al-jazeera dot com now a group of nearly four hundred migrants have arrived at the u.s. border after a month on the role of the u.s. border with mexico that is they say they're escaping violence and persecution in central america and want political asylum in the united states but present donald trump wants them turned away rob reynolds has this report from san diego. him full of migrant rights supporters marched through downtown san diego near the end of a two hundred twenty five kilometer journey on foot from los angeles to showing solidarity for a group of hundreds of migrants from central america traveling to lure the us mexico border while the trumpet ministration is going to meet refugees at the border with guns and walls we're going to meet them with open arms and open hearts

once the migrants reach the border they will ask for protected refugee status in the u.s. says an attorney accompanying them on their journey even have to show that you will suffer persecution in your country of origin based on your race religion nationality political opinion or because you are a member of our particular social group. because the central american migrants are fleeing rampant violence and not persecution as north traditionally defined or they may find it difficult to obtain a siloed central american countries have some of the highest murder and violent crime rates in the world we spoke to raina came from el salvador last year she asked us to disguise her identity for fear of reprisals against family members back home she fled after criminal gangs attacked her family and my son in law they left his dead body on my doorstep and shot him fifteen times he was only twenty three

years old than our entire family all of us were targeted once rayna reached the us she requested asylum then spent the next nine months in detention rayna is waiting for a hearing to decide whether she will get asylum she has no doubt about the fate that awaits her family if they're sent back. at that and i'm certain he would be going to our deaths u.s. president donald trump harshly denounces groups of central americans traveling to the u.s. calling them dangerous and the border patrol has begun subjecting migrants to harsher treatment like separating children from parents in detention reyna as a message for drum. and sing a precedent that i would tell president trump to have mercy on us and to give us an opportunity to live for migrants like for asylum is

a matter of life or death robert oulds zero san diego all the migrants also came up at a rally in michigan on saturday and was here to tell us more about that well president often speaks of immigration policy or rather immigration control and he's followed this particular group of asylum seekers very closely bringing them up at a rally in michigan on saturday were you watching that mess that's going on right now with the caravan coming out was are you watching this and i was our show week there's so pathetic given to us by democrats we have to have borders and we have to have them fast and we need security we need the war we're going to have it all and again that war has started we've got one point six billion we come up again i want september twenty eighth and if we don't get border security we'll have no choice we'll close down the country because we border security.

ok a few issues there some twitter users have pointed out that trump previously promised that mexico would pay for his border wall so they say that it's now unfair for him to threaten to shut down the u.s. government if congress can't find the money and now in addition to the wall beefing up immigration and customs enforcement also known as ice has been a cornerstone of trump's domestic policy. does and out there anybody have any idea does anybody have a warrant you know over the past year thousands of people have shared videos like this one showing ice agents in plain clothes questioning people at random and in some cases entering homes without warrants and in some cases it's been proven that u.s. citizens or legal immigrants were accidentally arrested now arrests are of course different from deportations and those are still fewer deportations are fewer under trump than they were under president obama but what's interesting is that the

arrests of non criminal immigrants has nearly doubled since he became president of this pew research study map here shows how the non-criminal arrests increase in nearly every state in twenty seventeen and some of those darker states especially along the east coast they've seen a jump as as big as four times as many arrests and while trump's critics say that deportations are wrong we heard in the piece earlier that in many cases they can be death sentences for those that are being forced to leave you also have his supporters who are saying that he's just protecting america and that the same heavy handed approach has led to other milestones in other places such as the korean peninsula earlier this week. thanks so people at the michigan rally on saturday believe trump deserves to win a nobel prize for his efforts to try and get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons trump says other leaders agree that he is at least partly responsible for

bringing north korea back to the goshi asian people. i spoke to the president this morning of south korea for a long time they just had a very good meeting he gives us tremendous credit gives us all the credit a trump supporters like the fox news host tom you learn here bring up the fact that these kinds of international developments are part of the original slogan to make america great again so let us know what you think about all of this you can connect with us using the hash tag age and he's going to message me directly on twitter i'm anderson. andrew thank you very much for that last year china said it would change the way does business when it came to accepting recycled goods the world's top scrap buyer abruptly shut the door to many types of waste not countries around the world are trying to figure out and out tentative to a ban on certain types of recycled plastic and paper the european union used to send nearly ninety percent of its recycled plastic to china the u.s. also relied on the country last year exported nearly one and

a half million tons of scrap plastics to china and is just part of the total seven point three million tons sent to china from developed countries last year now as andrew thomas reports at least places like australia with no way to send much of their recycled waste. after they put out their bins of recyclable rubbish most australians think no more about it but this is just the start of a process which is facing a crisis. in australia trucks bring the mixed plastics paper gloss and metal to a facility like this one to be separated until recently about haul the plastic and paper was then shipped to china chinese companies were importing and processing nearly half the world's prostate exam paper recycling but in january china's government in effect banned the import of recyclable waste how to loudoun bundles that were up to ten percent contaminated meaning up to a tenth of

a bale of one type of recyclable plastic could in fact be known recyclable material australian centers like this one had to do only a rough sift of the initial material the fact that it's made up of different plastics thought in itself is contaminated so you can say there's a bottle of water there that's my dad and i pay eighty material on the cap at my that have a different material the libel which is made out of a different material again the caps on the neck would be regarded as contaminated. china now says only north point five percent of each imported bonded compete so-called contamination there isn't a plant in australia that can produce a bundle that can pass that test even the operators of this new one in townsville call promise less than eight percent contamination the business model is broken the supply is a constant the divines been wiped out by about pulp and yet there is a real challenge to find a market for those responsible in both the short term and the longer term. some of

the oversupply is being taken by australian processes playing under hoffa what they were the plastics and now taking away the bundles of paper for free but i can't take it away no one is admitting to stockpiling big mountains of plastic in paper or a fire risk creating breaks laws but the excess. has to go somewhere about ten percent of everything that comes into this with sanity is wiped but called they recycle i found out put in by a white guy and that will go to landfill the concern now is that a lot more may end up in landfill those vials are ninety percent plastic that words have gone to china continental. those in the industry say long term this could be an opportunity for more sophisticated prosecutors like troubles within australia but in the short time they say they need in effect a subsidy from government that means higher taxes to keep the big elections going andrew thomas al-jazeera city now i'm very pleased to welcome erik solheim to the

news great he's the executive director of the united nations environment program joins us via skype from nairobi thank you very much for your time sir just tell us about your your opinion of this chinese campaign against foreign garbage you know this is good news or bad news for the environment i think this is clearly good news for the environment this is a perfect cool to the earth to be and both more you know what we've really turned. over is. that the government of trying to protect. against dangerous very remote want to be believed how many other nations there is completely understandable right now making a call for the good news for the environment but very destructive for the world's recycling industry. absolutely believed to be needed to be much better not well meaning to avoid all the bases to use the why did i stroll quite

a bit in the plastic bags were given the and then very interested in a very specific need say to keep keep food for a much longer time well that you need to recycle already to go to biodegradable problems there's a lot which can be done if you know about it yet you say it's good news for for the chinese they've shut the door to many types of waste because of environmental concerns they say but they still have to deal with their own domestic a waste don't they you know what's the difference between the domestic garbage and foreign garbage haven't been exposed to it is one where i stand the other no garbage to focus the garbage. china has lost me up on the farm and basically everywhere in this post as you know not the new powers and time of so after the comp the better to have is always did you know who they are but this is a clear make a call to europe of. all the rest of us that those things are not and that's all

that happened so it's likely now that this garbage that used to be sent to china will be rerouted to third world countries do these countries have the facilities for safe recycling can they do it well that's a very serious of their thinking to see developing nations are nations that's a place to do just that most have or that all cost of those millions sentient don't have the facilities to have the is there anything like a safe way so let the developed nations be excited about is made up of good systems out there oh that's so how how is it that we can resolve this issue then you know can technology help solve this problem of plastic waste. they go to this essential. for instance the character class they just move into but i think it will grow there's there's too much credibility to cycling the ways you need and that

circle of all the products we don't there's a more some of the same class their growth is going to ease their placement of the growth or if you simply can't be avoided i mean you are so are you the father of the following government will leave the store was why we didn't need to have congress or stall c.e.o.'s every year thank you so much for speaking to us erik solheim head of the u.n. environmental program joining us from nairobi in kenya thank you for your time we appreciate it a coming up on the news great a dramatic formula one race same as a by john gets people talking plus the p.t. athletes set to make history in the n.f.l. town be here with that story and much more right after a snapshot of the wild like. the you . know
